Man-made item (8)
I believe the answer is:
artefact
'man-made item' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for artefact that I've seen before include "Man-made object (maybe found in dig)" , "Human-made article" , "Something created" , "Man-made object, of archaeological interest say" , "Man-made object, of archaeological interest, perhaps" .)
